About

Through 25 years and eight independent albums, the last four on their own Right Coast Records, Ballyhoo! have earned the exclamation point which marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom�s Aberdeen, MD, home, rocking out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day, brothers Howi and Donald Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana, with an eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt.

The group�s eighth and most recent studio album, the breezy, ska-fueled, hook-filled Message to the World, on their own Right Coast Records, finds the self-declared �beach-rockers,� having grown up in public, accepting the responsibilities of adulthood while still hanging on to their dreams of world domination. Stylistically, their music ranges from the hard-edged punk of 2018�s Detonate, which captured the feelings of anger and depression from dealing with personal loss and the exhaustion generated by over a decade on the road to the island reggae beats of the follow-up, Message to the World. �Whatever you want to achieve, just focus on that and work towards it,� explains Howi about the Ballyhoo! ethos. �Don�t worry about followers, views, or even money. Just keep making good stuff. One day it may be possible to finally quit that day job and live your dream full time.�Ballyhoo! is still doing just that, purveying good vibes, positivity and fun live shows meant to take you away from real life...

    Great show

    by Brod14 on 7/24/23

    Got invited by a friend that was a fan. By the end of the night, they had another fan. The whole show was entertaining, good music and great venue.

    Best Small Concert Venue and show

    by DO’T on 7/19/23

    Blueberry Hill is an awesome small venue with a “party in the basement” feel. Ballyhoo, Tunnel Vision and Harbor Boys put on a great, intimate show. Each band, especially TV and HB, interacted so well with the crowd and really rocked. The sound system was great and the bar is big enough that the line is never more than two or three people deep. This is my new “go to” small venue.

    MOST UNDER RATED BAND!

    by DBROCKS on 5/26/23Vinyl - Atlanta

    THIS IS SUCH A TALENTED BAND THAT PUTS ON SUCH A GREAT SHOW. COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER SHOW. IF YOU LOVE MUSIC, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS BAND. I WILL NEVER MISS A BALLYHOO SHOW NEARBY AGAIN. THE HARBOR BOYS WERE A GREAT OPENING ACT ALSO. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING A SOLD OUT ARENA. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TALENT FROM THIS BAND THAN ANY TOP 40 ARTIST!!

    Out of this world 🌎

    by Andrew Richardson on 1/16/23Tally Ho Theater - Leesburg

    Ballyhoo! Is the best. Their music is so good and they always put on a great show. They never disappoint me. I really needed to see a good show and they did that and more. I’d highly recommend to anyone to go see them live. Also Higher Education opened for them and they were amazing too. I’m new to Higher Education but now I’m a fan as well and I will definitely be seeing them again really soon.

    Great show. Great venue!

    by Ndoublejizzle on 8/22/22XL Live - Harrisburg

    XL LIVE is spotless, has great acoustics, hospitable staff, top shelf liquors and beers, adequate food offerings and comfortable seating indoors and out. Ballyhoo rocked! Shwayze killed. Too bad Harrisburg missed the boat again. Shameful attendance. Should’ve been packed but only a couple hundred showed. Kudos to XL for bringing that kind of talent. Hope that more big acts aren’t deterred from coming to town.
